The Meaning of Color in Ancient Mesopotamia
Author: Shiyanthi Thavapalan
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004415416
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 523
Book Description
"In The Meaning of Color in Ancient Mesopotamia, Shiyanthi Thavapalan offers the first in-depth study of the words and expressions for colors in the Akkadian language (c. 2500-500 BCE). By combining philological analysis with the technical investigation of materials, she debunks the misconception that people in Mesopotamia had a limited sense of color and convincingly positions the development of Akkadian color language as a corollary of the history of materials and techniques in the ancient Near East"--

Midst the Wild Carpathians
Author: Mór Jókai
Publisher: Publio Kiadó Kft
ISBN: 9633810965
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 697
Book Description
Before us lies the valley of the Drave, one of those endless wildernesses where even the wild beast loses its way. Forests everywhere, maples and aspens a thousand years old, with their roots under water; magnificent morasses the surface of which is covered, not with reeds and water-lilies, but with gigantic trees, from the dependent branches of which the vivifying waters force fresh roots. Here the swan builds her nest; here too dwell the royal heron, the blind crow, the golden plover, and other man-shunning animals which are rarely if ever seen in more habitable regions.
